On the contrary...the media elites have been promoting Huckabee.
They can ditch him when they deem appropriate, much as they ditched Howard Dean.
For now he serves media purposes...to divide the GOP. If the media wanted to, they would dish out dirt on Huckabee and evangelicals would drop him like a hot potato.

***I agree. We need a candidate that doesn’t depend upon being propped up by the media. Whoever gets the GOP nomination is going to face a hostile left-stuck media. The trick is to get them wound up into such a frenzy that they can’t see straight, and they start pulling blind rage stunts like Dan Rather did. That’s how Bill Sali won in Idaho, also how Prop 187 won in California, even how Reagan won. Right up to voting day, the media was claiming all of them were far behind in the polls. But the average voter was tired of being called a bigot, and it backfired. In order for this strategy to win, we need a rock-ribbed conservative who doesn’t waver, someone like Hunter.
